Product Description

The Sansevieria masoniana is a type of snake plant called the shark fin or whale fin Sansevieria.

The whale fin is part of the Asparagaceae family. Sansevieria masoniana originates from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in central Africa. The common name Mason’s Congo Sansevieria comes from its native home.

Soil Mix & Transplanting

Repot your pot grown Masoniana every two to three years. Over time, the soil will become depleted of nutrients. Replanting your whale fin snake plant will help nourish the soil.

Snake plants prefer sandy or loamy soil with a neutral PH. Pot grown Sansevieria masoniana needs a well drained potting mix. Select a container with drainage holes to help drain excess water out.

Watering and Feeding

It’s crucial not to overwater Sansevieria masoniana. The whale fin snake plant can handle a slight drought condition better than wet soil.

Watering this plant with lukewarm water is best. Avoid using cold water or hard water. Rainwater is an option if you have hard water in your area.

Use minimal water on the Sansevieria masoniana during dormant seasons. During the warmer months, especially if plants are in bright light, make sure the soil does not dry out. Warm temperatures and heat will dehydrate the soil faster.

Flowering and Fragrance

The masoniana rarely blooms indoors. When the whale fin snake plant does flower, it boasts greenish-white flower clusters. These snake plant flower spikes shoot up in a cylindrical form.

This plant will often flower at night (if it does at all), and it emits a citrusy, sweet aroma.

After Sansevieria masoniana flowers, it stops creating new leaves. It does continue growing plantlets by way of rhizomes.
